Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to PSG last month, meaning the aggregate score is certainly not in the club’s favour tonight.
However, caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has emphasised if Manchester United score first then “anything can happen”.
Solskjaer iterated it is “never mission impossible”, suggesting he has hope the English outfit can deliver a special performance against the French giants.
Speaking ahead of tonight’s clash, he said: “Goals always change games.
“We’ve got to get the first goal and then anything can happen.
“Football is a technical and tactical game but it’s also a mental game. If we get the first one we would start believing more and then they might start doubting themselves.
“It’s never mission impossible. It’s just more difficult.
“Everyone knows we can do it. In the Champions League in the last few years there have been so many examples of teams that can change results like this.”
Solskjaer also declared tonight’s game is not about “making history”, instead he said the sole focus of this evening’s tie is making it to the next round of the lauded European tournament.
The Norwegian continued: “When nobody believes in you there is always that bit of character in yourself that you want to show.
“Making history is not the motivation. The motivation is going through. These players aren’t used to losing.”
